Bug Description

In current master I can select an waveform renderer from the drop down menu in Waveform preferences, and it is applied instantly.
When I change the overview type in the same way the skin is reloaded and I'm kicked out of fullscreen mode lp:1777328

First of all, I'd expect both renderers to be changed when I hit Apply, not when I select one.

Second, why do we need to reload the entire skin when only the overview needs to be refreshed?

To instantly apply waveform changes is a kind of legacy left over convenient preview feature.

I guess that the reloading the skin was just a lazyness solution for the overview waveforms.
